    Pivot through impact

    Did Hogan use his pivot differently through impact...did he avoid snapping his kinetic chain pre impact...did he keep some pivot in reserve to actually get his pivot to square up the clubface for impact and beyond?? He seems tohave alot more hip motion for relatively short hand travel...

    What the feet tell us about a swing?

    Compare the lead foot action before and after impact in Sam Snead and Bubba Watson - what can one infer from the different patterns (Snead swivels on heel, Bubba swivels on his toes) - does it relate to HSP control? Thanks?

    Physics and golf club design

    HOW IT'S MADE: The 1999 Hogan Apex Blades A third of the way down this link - it states that "the underslung hosel shifts the shaft axis closer to the COG for easier workability" Seems that the heelwards displacement of the COG which comes from the blade-on-blade muscleback design and the long...

    Effect of grip on clubface rotation

    I have no commercial interest in Iomic or any other grip manufacturer....but do they have point....??? They suggest that the variation in grip torque for off centre hits causes differing degrees of clubface rotation. Assuming that the drivers, shafts, swing speed, spining of shaft and the...

    New practice facility being built...

    Scenario In the pacific there is an island where the game of golf has rarely been heard of but the inhabitants are sports mad and generally healthy. The inhabitants are made up of a wide variety of racial mixes and there is little racial tension between them. Inter-racial marriage has been...

    Is gear effect real?

    Nobody ever talks about it anymore - is that because it never happened or the design of clubs went from curved face woods to flatter, bigger COR clubs...??? Presumably high COR clubs rotate less on off-centre impacts so gear effect is less??? Even less because high COR clubs have flatter faces...

    Why did this work for Jack??

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM3HTujsSsY Does it not contradict the ball flight laws as we understand them now...ie. that clubface is responsible for 80-90% of initial direction of ball flight??

    They call it weight shift....

    In the Hogan photo below ( sorry Self Mastery - Lorena has not done her instructional book yet:) ) he states that 85% of his weight is on his left foot. The reason i write this is because I ...and I presume many others... have fallen into the mistake of moving my body mass - the bulky bits -...

    "Making the club act like a club"

    Brian, i think that you use this expression to describe the way that the clubshaft, head and face all act in an optimum way for that individual player so that imperatives are demonstrated and impact alignment and physics are optimised - is that a reasonable interpretation of the way you use this...

    TGM - the catalogue updated...? TGM video Zoo

    If Homer were still alive would he have gone the interactive / DVD route to demo swings which illustrate swing components?? There is a degree of purity about the B+W photos of Diane but would he have embraced the video / internet technology and illustrated the components with real life golfers...

    "Centrifugal force" and muscle power

    In the context of the release of the clubhead... If a pure swinger uses CF ( or throw out action caused by rotation of pivot - please there is another thread about the reality of CF or otherwise...;) ) and the pure hitter uses right arm muscle power ( I know that all golfers use some muscles )...
